Hey, folks! Another summer means another Gen Con, one of the largest gaming conventions in North America. This year, Game Journal is proud to offer you coverage from the show floor in Indianapolis.

Every day, Neal Stidham (Game Journal editor extraordinaire) will be presenting you with all the best and brightest in the world of gaming. He will post podcasts, conduct interviews, snap pictures, and report on the major happenings from Gen Con 2009, and Game Journal is the only place you can find this level of in-depth coverage. Check back every day because we will be constantly updating the site with the latest from Neal and his harrowing trek throughout the show’s full four days of games and events.

To whet your appetite, here are a few pics Neal took upon his arrival at the show, followed by the first episode of Con-Pod from Gen Con 2009.
